 No war intended, just posting the specs... and I know they don't always tell the story. Some will always like DLP over LCD and vice versa. That's what they make different kinds.
I've read all of the Z5 reviews at Projector Central and it appears to hold it's own against even some of the more expensive DLPs.  |
I ran the Z5 and the Sharp DT-500 side by side in a light controlled room and they were both stunning. I never meant to bad mouth the Z5, in fact, I've recommended it on more than one occasion to others. The difference between it and the DT-500 showed up only in certain scenes. What bothered me was the operation of the iris which I could see while the movie was playing as could one other viewer. The two other guys didn't see it at all.
Long story short...the Z5 is a very nice projector but IN MY OPINION, Sanyo needs to drop the price to compete with the DLP's. With the SP7210 and DT-510 going for less, I can't see why anyone would spend more $'s to get the Z5 unless there was a RBE issue or a difficult placement (good point about the lens shift...I had neglected to mention that as one of the key benefits of LCD).
Cheers!
